Escher's Staircase

here's something in the air tonight

Shapes are comin' out of the darkness

Ooh there's a shadow in the sky tonight

I see it rising up from the water

From the staircase

You see where the future lies

It's struggle between dark and light

From earth to sea

Symmetry fades into change

Between you and me

It's never enough

Break the chain, walk the path

Climb the steps to heaven's door

Turn the key, turn the page

Yesterday forevermore

There is darkness in the psyche

And a light that's burning bright

Within your soul

You find yourself so far away

Come and shake the hand of forever

Goes on and on and endlessly

Turning points of light into matter

When you're finding the holes

In geometry

It takes time to find your way home

From earth to sea

Symmetry fades into change

Between you and me

It's never enough

Break the chain, walk the path

Climb the steps to heaven's door

Turn the key, turn the page

Yesterday forevermore

There is darkness in the psyche

And a light that's burning bright

Within your soul
